[ANN]: AconcaguaAddOns

I pushed some Aconcagua extensions to
http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/SeanDeNigris/AconcaguaAddOns/main/

One part consists of tiny (so far) Aconcagua models of various domains -
Time*, Money, and Weight at the moment.

The other is the Aconcagua-Magritte package. This gives you
MAMeasureDescription, which represents an Aconcagua Measure. It mostly acts
like a number field mapped to its amount. You just have to tell it which
unit to use to convert the amount number into a Measure.

Example usage:
        MAMeasureDescription new
                accessor: #replacementPrice;
                label: 'Replacement Price';
                unit: AmDollar new;
                yourself

Then, you can type 100 in a Magritte form and "100 dollars" will be saved to
the model. Enjoy!

* Yes, I know Chalten has months and years, but (I think when Chalten was
extended to handle non-Gregorian calendars) months and year units are no
longer derived from each other, and so can not be compared.

Hi Sean,

First thanks for sharing this.

Now I suppose this was AconcaguaDeluxe before?

Do you have a ConfigurationOf for AconcaguaAddOns?

I want to use it but don't have idea what to load.

Sorry, just completed a massive (non-programming) project and I'm coming back
to coding...

I don't recall exactly, but given the state of the two repositories, and my
general workflow, I would say that I started Deluxe in my playground
repository as a toy, and when I started using it regularly, promoted it to
it's own repo (AddOns). Now here's where it gets exciting: I then forgot I
had moved it and didn't update the Configuration, and made more commits to
the old repo :/ So, you should be safe loading the latest packages
individually because they represent different domains and IIRC don't depend
on one another. We should also make a new Config...AddOns in the new repo.
HTH.
